3-Dimensional Articular and Soft Tissue Myofascial Release for Wrist Overuse Syndrome
Official title: Comparative Effects of 3-Dimensional Articular and Soft Tissue Myofascial Release Approach in Patients With Overuse Syndrome of Wrist Joint
Run by University of Faisalabad · NCT07714031 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether a 3-Dimensional articular release works better than 3-Dimensional soft tissue release for people aged 20–55 with wrist overuse syndrome.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 20–55 with gradual wrist pain from repetitive activity and reduced wrist range of motion who are willing to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with wrist diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, infection, traumatic injuries, neuropathies, open wounds, or malignancy may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This randomized controlled trial compares two manual therapy approaches for wrist overuse syndrome: 3-Dimensional articular fascia release and 3-Dimensional soft tissue release. Eligible participants are adults 20–55 with gradual wrist pain linked to repetitive use and reduced wrist range of motion, recruited from workers who use their hands routinely. Treatments will be delivered to assess which method more effectively reduces pain and improves function, using standard clinical criteria. The study is conducted at the University of Faisalabad with participants identified through consecutive sampling. Outcomes will inform which release technique may better address stiffness and pain in wrist overuse conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience greater pain relief and improved wrist movement from the more effective release approach.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work on myofascial release approaches has shown potential benefits, but this specific 3-Dimensional comparison in wrist overuse syndrome is novel.
